How Could You? Hall of Shame-Connecticut DCF Worker Megan M. Blanchette
This will be an archive of heinous actions by those involved in child welfare, foster care and adoption. We forewarn you that these are deeply disturbing stories that may involve sex abuse, murder, kidnapping and other horrendous actions.
From Plantsville, Connecticut, apparently like Florida, they have a hard time finding ethical employees. This time 28-year-old Megan M. Blanchette “is facing charges of buying alcohol for minors after an investigation” revealed that she purchased alcohol for two minors earlier in 2012.
The charges are ” risk of injury to a minor, two counts of illegal delivery of liquor to a minor and two counts of permitting a minor to possess alcohol. She was released after posting a $1,500 court set bond and is due in Bristol Superior Court on Oct. 15 for arraignment, according to Southington Police Department records.”
“According to a police incident report, the state Department of Children and Families initiated an investigation in July after learning Blanchette allegedly provided alcohols for two teenagers in the community. The incident was not related to her work, police said.
After investigating the complaint, Southington Police Sgt. Jeffrey Dobratz said detectives were notified by DCF that they had evidence allegedly tying Blanchette to the claim. Police took over the investigation in mid-September and were able to obtain a warrant.
Further details of the case, including how she knew the teenagers, was not immediately available.
Blanchette was an employee of DCF at the time of the incident, Dobratz said Thursday. She worked at the Wilfred home, a safe house for teenagers, but the case was not related to the home, police said. ”

My daughter happens to have the same name as the woman cited here. Our Megan Marie Blanchette (who never lived in Connecticut or worked for Child Services) now lives in California. We think our daughter’s name and reputation may be confused with this woman of the same name. Our daughter is having some trouble getting employment and after some internet’s searches, we think the problem may be because of this woman’s record. How may we correct this problem? Likewise, we believe because of this incident, our daughter’s background has been confused with this woman. They are definitely two separate women, but one is causing trouble for the other.
